Rush Clockwork Angels tour official UK/Europe dates announced

UPDATE - 5/14@1:38PM: There's also an O2 Priority pre-sale for all the UK dates starting on Wednesday at 9AM (thanks Melissa).

UPDATE - 5/14@11:32AM: Until I hear otherwise, I'm going with the assumption that the Planet Rock VIP and Live Nation VIP pre-sales are separate.

UPDATE - 5/14@11:12AM: Hold the phone... it's possible that the Planet Rock VIP pre-sale and the Live Nation one are totally separate. Still gathering details - everything is confusing as hell as usual...

UPDATE - 5/14@10:59AM: The VIP pre-sale will be sponsored by Planet Rock and to participate you need to register for free at this link.

UPDATE - 5/14@10:37AM: I've added the UK dates into the tour section. Despite the fact that these shows are over 1 year away, tickets go on sale this weekend! I'm still gathering all the details, but it looks general ticket sales for the UK dates will be this Friday, May 18 at 9AM. It also looks like there will be VIP tickets available through Live Nation UK this coming Thursday, May 17th at 10AM.

In confirmation of this early this morning Rush.com posted some official dates including 5 in the UK in late May and 2 in Germany in early June with the promise of more dates to come. Here they are:
